r/LoseitApp

I was thrown by only claiming 60 calories, so I popped open the ai google search and it’s saying insoluble fiber is essentially 0 cal and soluble is 1.5-2. But this is the first time I’ve seen it basically not count on a label. If I do the standard fat = 9 and carbs = 4, that comes out to 111.5. Have I been tracking wrong this whole time, or is Mission trying to pull a sneaky?

Some weeks were definitely better than others, but weight loss has also been an exercise in giving myself grace, and trying to treat my body the way it deserves. Only a few more pounds left until I'm no longer overweight. Cheers!

Okay so I’ve used this app before but never the paid version - got it yesterday and omg I can’t believe how much sugar I’m eating.. I mean I can but I had no idea it was so above the recommended average! Can people please recommend some low sugar options for a self-confessed sweet tooth desperate to lose weight?

Can be adjusted to your preference/calorie needs!

SW: 256.4lbs
CW:191.8lbs
Current GW:185lbs

Ive been pretty stagnant in my weight for a couple weeks now. Hoping to break out of the 190s before my vacation next month!🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Right after Google shut down Google Fit, and forced us to use Health Connect my exercise calories are WAY OFF.

I did walk a bit over +15km today at a decent pace, but there's absolutely no way I burned anywhere near that amount.

Health Connect reported that I walked for 3hrs 45mins and I burned 1698 for the entire walk. That itself is high by about 400 calories, but even if I did burn 1698 on my walk the exercise total is more than double that number and I didn't exercise at all beyond that other than quick light chores.

Anyone else having this issue?

Any known fixes?

Been using the app for 2+ months and genuinely like it, except for one thing…when I click ‘done logging’ it says I will reach my goal in just under a year (yay!). When I click on the ‘goals’ tab, it says I will reach my goal in OVER TWO YEARS (boo!) Anyone know what’s happening here? It’s been like this since I started….

May 2025 -> May 2026
Height: 155cm (5’1”)
Body weight: 72.4kg (160lbs) -> 48.8kg (108lbs) [23.6kg (52lbs) drop]
Body fat: 40.7% -> 24.4% [16.3% drop]

It’s been one year since I started my fat loss journey and tracking my food, and, well, here’s the result: I achieved my target weight (52kg (115lbs)), and lost a few more organically; from being obese to losing weight, and then gained back all the weight in 2020, to being the fittest I’ve ever been in my twenty-something years of life.

Here are my takeaways, besides the obvious that we all have heard already:

1. Plan ahead your meals
I learned this from a post on here: on the app, use ‘today’’s entry to plan ahead my meals for the day after.
Use the recipe function to meal prep. Estimate the nutrition of a dish before you even make it. Tweak it with ingredient substitutions.
I like to bake in my free time, so I like to do this to see if a recipe is ‘worth’ making. When I’m craving, let’s say, a muffin, I’d cut down on the butter and sugar, and replace part of the butter with Greek yoghurt.
On the days you’re going out, look up the restaurant’s menu beforehand. It’s great if the restaurant shares the calories and macros of their food on their menu or website. If not, estimate using photos or the ingredients listed on the menu. Once you have this one meal figured out, plan the other meals of the day around it.

2. You don’t have to go to the gym
It may sound shocking to some people, I know. But speaking from personal experience, I didn’t get into shape because of going to the gym. Since the start of my fat loss journey, I have set foot in a gym exactly once, and did 45 minutes of incline walking. That’s it.
When I started this whole journey, I knew I was going to stick to this for real this time, and I’m going to get into shape sustainably, which is why I swore not to spend too much money on it. In the beginning, when I was obese, I would go on walks around my neighbourhood, and did strength training with my pair of 1kg dumbbells following YouTube videos (I still do). After some time, because I took swimming lessons when I was a kid, I started swimming again. After some time, when I’ve gotten lighter, I started running, which I used to hate, but I went anyways because a friend invited me to go one time. That was when I finally tried running for the first time without my knees hurting, and slowly it became a weekly ritual. And now according to my watch, my cardio fitness is the best it has ever been.
Now my weekly schedule includes 3 sessions of 45 minutes strength training at home with my pair of 3kg dumbbells and 2 resistance bands, a weekly 5km-10km run, and a weekly 1500m-2000m swim, along with at least 5km worth of steps per day.
The point is: Find a way to move that you enjoy and stick with it.

3. You don’t have to cut out the food you love
Growing up chubby, I used to have a huge sweet tooth. I still do, it’s just that after eating healthily for so long, I definitely had learned to appreciate the flavours of whole foods more. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have cravings for snacks from time to time. Here’s what I do, and I think this is part of the reason I’m still motivated up to this day: FYI: I’m more lenient towards my intake nowadays, since I have been eating at maintenance for a few months, I allocate 300kcal just for snacks. Nothing is off-limit: candy, chocolate, chips, ice cream, etc. Surprisingly, most of the time, my cravings are gone way before I reach the 300kcal mark. Then what do I do with the rest of the budget? I just bank it for a meal night out, or just keep it as is, it just means you’ll be reaching your target weight sooner.

4. Use nutrition strategically
This is a combination of the previous points. Because of my swims and my runs, I naturally need to be eating more carbs for fuel. I’m a morning swimmer, so I need quick carbs before my swim. And what’s the quickest carbs? Sugar. I literally had a Kinder Bueno as breakfast before my swim a few days ago.
No, I’m not saying everyone should be having junk food as a pre-workout, but hey, if you have a sweet tooth like me, maybe try utilising the snack as fuel, that you can burn off immediately. Plus, it helps you perform better. Just make sure to have a proper meal afterwards.

Eat less, move more. It’s really that simple. The key is to stick with these habits. We got this!!!

looking at my lose it app, i started at 165 in Summer 2018, got up to 205 in Winter 2022 after working fully remote right out college, down to 165 again summer of 2024 and creeped back up to 190 towards the beginning of January 2026. now down to 175 and feeling great, hoping to get to 150 by next January.

something about me logging for 8 years and especially logging onto LoseIt for the first time at 19 makes me a little sad. but still interesting to see the overall trends! 9 pounds up from sophomore year of college me.

Mentally really struggled with the daily fluctuations in weight but a 10lb milestone this morning and beginning to realize that consistency is what matters. One day or one meal shouldn’t derail your progress! 6 more to go!
